Most of the new Peruvian birtls discovered by Jelski had been described by Cabanis in 

 J.f. 0., 1873, and by Taczanowski in P. Z. S., 1874, when the latter drew np the present im. 

 portant article, giving a complete list of the 490 species secured by the intrepid and inde- 

 fatigable traveller during the three years he passed in exploring the narrow but interesting 

 region comprised between Lima, Huanta, Monterico, Parma, and Juuin, which is situated in 

 the Cordilleras, and therefore presents a marvellously rich avifauna, composed of species 

 living from torrid regions to the line of perpetual snow. The following 19 species are here 

 described as new : — Anthus brevirostris, A. calcaratus, p. 507 ; Conirostrum cyaneuin, p. 512 ;
